Why does he have the urge to swear profusely? Does he think it makes him look hard?

No.Why does he have the urge to swear profusely? Does he think it makes him look hard?
His lyrics are about anger and futility. English people tend to swear a lot under those conditions.

Alright Tony. Yeah great holiday... Seems a long time ago now though.That was mint, looking forward to it even more now. The audience were nodding along while he was telling them to fuck off. Bellends.
Good holiday mate? We'll sort the tickets and dough out next week when you can, I'm in town daily.
Finally been able to access the ticket online so can print it off, or send it to you...?
The only time I'm going to be in Manchester now is Saturday for the game. If you're going, let me know and we can meet up there. If not I can set off early and meet you elsewhere maybe? Or just sort me out next time that you're at a game...
Anyway here's a good yarn to be going on with...

Not my cup of tea, just seems like an angry middle aged man shouting and swearing! Can see that every Friday and Saturday night.

Brilliant and the best thing to come out of the UK music scene in a long time. Been lucky enough to catch them live a few times during the last few years when I’ve been over there. Last two albums have been excellent, but IMO nothing beats ‘Austerity Dogs’ which is phenomenal.
Was introduced to this band yesterday and happily discovered that the vocalist, Jason, is someone I knew fairly well a decade or so ago in Nottingham. He was a bit of a face round town at the time. Bit weird seeing him on those clips. Actually really like the music. It's raw and aggressive in a way I really like. I do quite miss the East Midlands accent. Jay, as I recall, had a Nottingham, rather than a Linconshire accent. Pleased for him that he seems to have made it. I'll definitely be purchasing a couple of albums today.
You do hear that Notts/East mids accent out in Lincs, certainly in the flamboyant riverias of Mablethorpe and Skegness....duck.
They seem to have a very loyal following already and good luck to them. They're about as far removed from 'Sons of f**king Mumforn' as it's possible to be (thank Christ).
Interestingly, their gigs have been likened to early Pistols in energy and anger, and John Lydon's latest PIL single isn't that dissimilar to the Sleaford Mods (have a listen). Imitation cycle and all that.
I detect a bit of humour with them that perhaps isn't evident (same happened with the Smiths)...the 'music' guy seems to be on the verge of cracking up at times - could be nervous energy mind. I can't imagine Jay is that 'in yer face' angry all the time and interviews seem to confirm that.

There are significant similarities between the two accents, especially, as you say, in those parts of Linconlshire subject to a greater influx of folk from Nottingham and Leicester in particular.You do hear that Notts/East mids accent out in Lincs, certainly in the flamboyant riverias of Mablethorpe and Skegness....duck.

Having bought and listened to three albums there is no doubt in my mind that his accent is Nottingham through and through, even through their Wiki page says Jay's originally from Grantham. The way he says 'McFlurry' is about as Nottingham as it gets. It's an accent that isn't that obvious to the untrained ear, but once you become attuned it's about as distinctive as it gets. It always puts a smile on my face whenever I go back.
As to Jay, I was never good mates with him, but I spent a few nights in his company and he used work at the old, smaller, less corporate Paul Smith shop on Byards Lane in the early noughties and I used to shop there quite a bit back then, and I would describe his disposition as nonchalant rather than discernibly angry, although I wouldn't go as far as describing him as a 'chilled out entertainer'. Pleased he seems to have made it, especially relatively late in life. It feels even better to arrive at a positive destination if you've struggled to get there.
